Catch-up

Apologies for the lack of update last week - I'll endeavour to catch things up here and get you all up to date on the latest catches from Etangs Des Papillons:

Rouge

Some long-time Exclusive Angling Holidays customers fish Rouge this September, taking around 45 fish. Of these, the biggest was a whopping Catfish of 80lbs+ and a cracking Mirror just over the 30lb barrier. This was backed up by to PB breaking Carp of 29lbs and 29lbs 8oz. The fish are now being caught from all over the lake, with the best carp coming from the double swim, and the big cat from behind the island. Whilst the chalet swim didn't produce as well as the others, all anglers caught both carp and cats. Thanks guys.

After a week's rest Rouge hosted 4 intrepid Irish anglers who made a monumental trip for their bi-annual visit to the lakes. Whilst the weather was mixed to say the least everyone caught well and several carp in the low thirties were caught (including two on the very last night of the trip!). nice to meet you all, and i hope to see you again some time in the future.

Bleu

Martin returned for his second trip of the year, and fishing with his wife, took some excellent Carp into the mid-twenties and some cracking Catfish to boot. Fishing from the large swim by the bench, and casting into both the island margins and open water most fish fell to halibut pellet fished over a bed of trout pellets. Leaving with a total of 18 fish from 5 day's fishing, we look forward to seeing Martin again next year - cheers!

More loyal Exclusive Angling Holidays customers fished Bleu the following week and managed another great week's fishing. Again, catching Carp to mid-twenties and catfish the majority of fish came from the top end of the lake (towards the dam wall)
Thanks for your repeated custom guys, and we'll see you next year!

Last week was a superb one for Bleu, and saw two different thirties on the bank! First-time customers, they baited heavily with both pellet and boilie and reaped the rewards in spectacular style with a 60lb+ catfish on the first night followed later in the week by a fantastic common at a shade over 30lbs and then a magnificent mirror of 34lb! This was backed up by a good number of twenties and plenty of smaller cats. Only 12 months to go till next time guys!
